I have been looking for someone or someplace that does custom work. A legitimate blacksmith/sword smith/armor smith. I have only come across one website that does really good custom work for swords and that's fableblades.com. I'm looking for truly unique and personalized weapons and armor and I can't seem to find anything to my satisfactory. I've seen swords, armor, knives, axes, etc. that I really like and that are gorgeous, but not custom/personal to me. They're just one of many. The level of craftsmanship I'm looking would be on par with Lord of the Rings. The movie had armor and weapons made specifically for them. And that's what I'm looking for.
What I'm looking for i six different pieces ranging from swords to armor. I'm looking for a ceremonial suit of armor, helm and a (somewhat heavy-ish) cape for myself (think Kings Guard from Game of Thrones), decorative yet effective, and a sword. The second piece would be for my fiance. Something elegant and lighter than mine but still effective, and a sword for her as well. Number three and four would be customized for our respective right hand man/woman, complete with armor and sword. Five and six would be done in triplicate, three for the men and three for the women in our party.
The reason I'm looking and have such a high degree of interest is that these weapons and armor are to be used in a ceremony some time in the future. They're not just going to gather dust. They're going to have an extraordinary amount of meaning to me and those involved. I've been thinking about this for quite some time but I can't seem to find any place able to deliver. Figured this would be one of the best places to ask. So if anyone has any ideas on where to find a blacksmith able to make custom pieces please let me know. Also, clothing to wear under the armor would also be appreciated. Thanks!
